The all-new adventures of Superman continue! Everyone can see the new
villain who’s attacking Superman – except The Man of Steel! How can he
stop a threat that none of his super-senses can detect? Meanwhile, a
Daily Planet reporter starts digging up some dirt on Superman, including
a secret that could ruin him forever!

"We've
made Superman such an iconic figure over the years that we've lost some
of the character and the ability to tell stories with that character,"
said Dan DiDio, co-publisher at DC. "There's so much continuity that's
been built on this character. We really wanted to get a Superman that is
more accessible to the audience."

The "relationships" part of Superman's story will be examined in Superman
by George Pérez, which will take place in the present day of the DC
Universe. Clark Kent will have a new status quo at the Daily Planet and
will be a bachelor.

Lois Lane will have a new boyfriend, which is
quite a change from the current situation, where Clark and Lois are
married in the DC Universe.

"Marriage brings about a certain
degree of comfort and security in one's life," Lee said. "If you have a
life partner, you always have someone to rely on. So from a story
conflict point of view, it makes for a less dramatic story. I think a
lot of writers can agree that one of the most dynamic periods of
Superman's history was that period where there was a love triangle
between Clark Kent, Superman and Lois Lane. There's a lot of tension and
interest you create in the characters by having that kind of dynamic."
